Police are investigating the theft of a recreational vehicle, a motorcycle trailer, and a pickup at multiple times and locations in Salina.

Jody Meyer, 36, of Salina, told police that sometime between May 18 and Thursday, someone stole a tan 1985 Southwind RV that had "Browning" in the back window from where it was parked in the 300 block of E. Claflin Avenue, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. The RV was valued at $2,000.

The RV was used to store miscellaneous tools, which were valued at $4,000, Forrester said.

Additionally, a black four-foot by four-foot enclosed motorcycle trailer that was hooked to the RV also was stolen. It contained some tires and was valued at $400.

At that same time, Meyer also told police that approximately three weeks earlier, someone stole his black 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche from the backyard of a friend's residence in the 100 block of S. Phillips Avenue. The pickup, which had a chameleon paint job on the hood, was valued at $4,000. It had a temporary tag of C318082, Forrester said.

A witness reported seeing a White woman with purple or reddish hair and a heavyset white man in a white van tow the RV and trailer away from where they were parked in the 300 block of E. Claflin Avenue, Forrester said.

Additionally, another witness reported seeing a White woman in a white pickup tow the Avalanche from the backyard in the 100 block of S. Phillips Avenue, he said.
